The BMC has acknowledged low compliance with its directive mandating air quality monitors for high-value construction projects, while planning stricter C&D waste disposal rules and taking pollution-related action against the Dharavi Redevelopment Project developer.

The Slum Rehabilitation Authority has issued notices to 170 construction projects across Mumbai for violating air pollution mitigation norms, with Dahisar, Malad East, and Bhandup being the most affected areas. Developers have been given 15 days to comply or face construction shutdowns.

With air quality worsening, Mumbai has introduced stricter rules to curb construction-related pollution. These measures aim to improve air quality and create a healthier environment for its residents.
